FEEDBACK – SPORTS4LIFE MARATHONS FEEDBACK – WEMMER PAN – 13 FEBRUARY 2016

The great turn out was encouraging to see as I really am hoping to foster a  ‘’Marathon Culture”

amongst our paddlers. Thanks especially to the guys who came all the way from Witbank.

The day was awesome and thankfully the wind only came up on the last few laps of the 20 km race.

This is the 7^th year running that I have hosted this series and am excited to see it grow as we approach World Champs in 2017.
